Cavalleria Toscana Technical Tailcoat Women

Take the weights out of the tails before you wash the jacket or store it for a longer period. Hang the tailcoat on a wide hanger so the shoulders keep their shape, and leave it hanging open after the show until it is completely dry. Follow the care label inside the jacket when washing.

Pair the tailcoat with white breeches and a competition shirt or stock from our range. Before you enter the arena, check that the tails lie evenly once you are in the saddle; with the weights in place they usually hang straight by themselves.

This tailcoat is meant for the rider competing in dressage at the level where a tailcoat is required, and who prefers a close-fitting, technical jacket to a classic lined model. Sizes XS (EU34 - IT38) and S (EU36 - IT40) make it suitable for the more slightly built rider.

If you jump or ride dressage at a level where the shorter jacket is usual, a ladies' show jacket from our range is the better choice. If you need a larger size, we'll look together at which tailcoats we can order in for you.

The tails are weighted with removable weights, so they hang flat while you sit and do not flap up in canter. Before you ride into the arena, check that they lie level.

Take the weights out before washing the jacket or storing it for longer, and follow the care label inside the jacket. Hang the tailcoat on a wide hanger so the shoulders keep their shape, and after the show leave it hanging open until it is completely dry.

What is the difference between a tailcoat and a show jacket?
A tailcoat is the long dressage coat with tails, worn at the higher dressage levels. A show jacket is the shorter model for show jumping and the lower dressage levels. You'll find both in our range.

How does this show jacket fit?
The source describes the fit as tailored and close, so the jacket follows the line of the body. Beyond that it follows the stated EU and IT size. If you are between XS and S, get in touch and we'll go through your chest measurement and sleeve length together.

Can I wear this jacket over a body protector or airbag vest?
The product information does not specify this, so we cannot confirm it. If you always ride in an airbag vest, contact us beforehand.

What are the weights in the tails for?
They keep the tails hanging flat and downward while you sit, so they don't lift during the test. They are removable, so you take them out before washing.

Is this jacket available in other sizes or colours?
What we stock as standard is listed under the technical specifications: black in XS and S. Other sizes or colours can be ordered on request.

Is this tailcoat suitable for outdoor competitions?
The fabric is water-repellent and UV-protective, which counts on an outdoor arena. The source also describes the jacket as suited to long show days in changing conditions.

Am I allowed to compete in this tailcoat in my class?
Rules on the colour and cut of competition dress differ per discipline, per federation and per year. Check the current rules of your own federation.
